White Oak Eigashima 7 Year Old Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Japanese Whisky (500ml)

Akashi's White Oak Distillery in Eigashima continues its steady and varied run of releases with a Speyside-inspired malt aged in quality sherry casks. You can expect all the typically rich, fruity notes that accompany sherry maturations including dried berries, dark chocolate, charred oak and gentle spices. Some tasters report delicate peat input too (think smoke, iodine and a bit of campfire). Bottled at 50%, it's also on the heavier side for Japanese whisky. Non chill filtered.
